Sudden Onset Of Itching On Inner Thighs, Left Of Abdomen, Chest, Temporary Relief With Steroids. Cause?

For about a month now I had a sudden onset of severe itching on inner thighs, left side of abdomen , right hip area, and upper right side on chest . The only thing that began to clear it up was steroids. The minute I got off them it came back with even worse than before. I am waking up in the middle of the night from it. I haven t used any new meds, lotions, or detergents so I don t think it s allergies.
